Pass back values from a SQL statement



I ahve a procedure where I am building pretty much the entire thing from
dynamic clauses.  I have a dynamic value for the field I am selecting, a
dynamic value for the record it is selecting  from and a dynamic where
clause.  No getting around this....... it will not work with a
begin-select, but it does work with a begin-sql.  This is because of the
dynamic value in the place of the field name being selected (I think).

Now I need to know if there is anyway to pass back the value of the field
I am selecting from a begin-sql?  I have tried giving it an alias and
trying to access the alias after the end-sql and the program doesn't
recognize it.  I am attaching the snippet of code below.  Pasting the
values into the dynamics I can make this code run against the database,
and the alias works there.  What I need to do is pass back fieldone into
my SQR program, to use in the next procedure.  Any suggestions?

begin-procedure GET-VALUES
begin-sql
select [$fieldname] as fieldone
FROM [$FROM]
where [$WHERE]
end-sql
end-procedure GET-VALUES

The SQL statement ends up looking like:
select EMPLID as fieldone

FROM PS_AUDIT_Z_PERSDTA
where AUDIT_STAMP > '2002-02-20'

Thanks in advance,
